Greetings
Famous When Dead Gallery has opened its doors last month. Here a brief overview what's coming up and some dates you might want to add to your calendar.
PERMISSABLE ART
Firstly a reminder about the public forum this Sunday.
City of Melbourne and Cultural Development Network invite to a public discussion about graffiti in the city, its place in urban culture and its regulation by local government.
Panelists include Cr David Wilson, artist Ghostpatrol, Andy MacDonald, director of Citylights Projects, Fiona McLeod from the Hardware Precinct Residents Association and Alison Young, Uni Melbourne, who was responsible for drafting City of Melbourne's Graffiti Policy. This should be an interesting discussion.
This Sunday, 6 April, 3.30 - 5 pm
Famous When Dead Gallery
207 Victoria St, West Melbourne
Melway 2B A11, Tram 57 Stop 9
The forum is in context to the Union Lane Street Art project exhibition LEGAL ENOUGH which is currently being shown at the gallery. Check it out, or visit the lane itself:
UNION LANE, between Bourke St Mall and Lt Collins St
Info and video about the project, which we finished in December last year, can be found here.

Up-coming : STENCIL FESTIVAL UNPLUGGED
After an extensive regional & interstate tour last year the stencil festival exhibition is returning back to Melbourne. On rotating display will be all works which have previously not been shown in Melbourne - and some which have. This is the final chance to take you pick from the massive 2007 catalogue before the artwork will be returned to the artists.

Up-coming : ANOTHER RED BALLOON
An exhibition of limited edition prints and framed originals by some of the most well known street and stencil artists around the world including Banksy (UK), Btoy (SP), Fafi (FR), Kenji Nakayama (USA), Kid Zoom (Perth), Killpixie (Syd), Mephisto Jones (NZ), Pure Evil (UK), Reka (Melb) and Sheperd Fairey (USA).
